Let's be honest here, there isn't much that beats a slice of warm bread with a heaping portion of homemade jam. And in case the idea of making jam scares you, I'm here to assure you that it's ridiculously easy. Like, maybe one of the easiest things you've ever made type of easy. Now, a classic recipe can't really be beat, but I'm kind of loving Whip + Clicks version. Pair shiso with raspberries while they're still nice and fresh and sweet, and you'll be eating breakfast like a king in no time flat.
